John Harris Will be receiving a certificate of recognition from the City Of Los Angeles from the Office of Council President Eric Garcetti Council District 13 - for his years in poetry & his contribution to the poetry community
Jennifer Bradpiece is a graduate of Antioch University's BA program. While at Antioch, her focus of creative writing led her to complete an internship at the literary arts center Beyond Baroque in Venice, California. She lives in Los Angeles, California, where she writes poetry, essays, short fiction, and reviews. Her poetry has been published in the pagan anthology, The Pagan's Muse, as well as in journals and zines such as Media Cake eMagazine, Poetic Diversity, The Chickasaw Plum, and The Mad Poet's Review. She has had a restaurant review published in the literary journal Viridescent Sea, and has a movie review forthcoming in Media Cake eMagazine.
In 1969, John Harris founded the Venice Poetry Workshop at Beyond Baroque Foundation with Joseph Hansen. In the 1970s and 1980s, he was the proprietor of Papa Bach Books, the historic bookstore and literary center where a generation of Los Angeles poets came of age artistically. His poems have appeared in many periodicals and anthologies and in two collections, "Where Love Is" and "Against the Day of the Dead." His manuscript "Climbing" was a finalist for the University of Pittsburg Press U.S. Poetry Award judged by Muriel Rukeyser.
Doug Knott has been writing and performing poetry in Southern California for more than 20 years.
He is the author of one collection, Small Dogs Bark Cartoons, and many chapbooks. He has been published in local and national poetry magazines ranging from "Caffeine" and "Pearl" to "Chiron Review." His work has been included in several anthologies such as Grand Passion: Poets of Los Angeles and Beyond and the Outlaw Poetry Bible.
Besides literary work, he has performed his poetry in hundreds of different venues on the West Coast, ranging from coffeehouses to the LA County museum, and has hosted several poetry reading series. He created and produced a seminal L.A. underground variety show at the Lhasa club, had his own nightclub and produced readings at Club Lingerie, Highland Grounds and the Ice House in Pasadena. He has performed extensively in local bookstores and TV, and had his own poetry cable-access show.
With several other poets, he wrote and performed more than 100 shows under the group names "Lost Tribe" and "Carma Bums." The group won the late 80's network-TV "Gong Show" and performed at many venues in Denver, Albuquerque, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Ashland, Portland Vancouver, and many other cities. The tours, performances and antics of the Carma Bums were the subject of a 1996 book, Twisted Cadillac.
Additionally, he has written and/or produced and/or directed 6 poetry videos, 4 of which have one national awards. His video "Psychic Defense Training for Ex-Lovers" was a "poetry spot" on W-NYC in New York, and "Wings" (with L.A. Bogen) won national awards and played on PBS TV in Chicago. He taught a class in poetry video at Beyond Baroque in Venice, CA
Cassandra Love is a 2008 PEN USA Emerging Voices Poet Fellow and has two poems featured in the upcoming anthology Completely Mixed Up: An Asian North American Mixed Race Anthology . Cassandra has recently studied with Suheir Hammad and Suzanne Lummis. A child from all over Southern California, Cassandra had attended 7 different schools by Jr. High. With a mother who emigrated to LA from Manila, and a father from North Dakota, Cassandra finds truth in fluidity, ambiguity, and the space between spaces. The oldest child of a single father, she constantly struggles with (sex/gender/race/class) identity. Her current project is a poetry collection tentatively titled My Father's First-Born. Cassandra studied literature and played basketball at Yale.
